CHUCK - ABOUT THE SHOW

Chuck Bartowski - super-nerd turned secret-agent

Chuck Bartowski just might be the world's nerdiest secret agent. A regular twentysomething video-game enthusiast, Chuck's life is thrown into disarray when he opens an e-mail subliminally encoded with government secrets and unwittingly downloads an entire server of sensitive data into his brain. Suddenly, the fate of mankind lies in his unlikely hands, and Chuck is catapulted into a new career as the government’s most vital agent. Instead of fighting computer viruses at the Buy More electronics store as part of the Nerd Herd, Chuck must now confront assassins and international terrorists.

Assigned to protect Chuck are the bristly John Casey (Baldwin) of the National Security Agency and his partner, Sarah Walker (Strahovski), the CIA's top agent — and Chuck's dream girl. Chuck's best buddy and fellow Buy More employee, Morgan Grimes (Gomez), thinks the reason Chuck doesn't hang out as much anymore is because he's dating Sarah, something Chuck's ever-supportive sister, Ellie (Lancaster), and Ellie's fiancé, Captain Awesome (McPartlin), also believe. Ellie has even asked Sarah to be a bridesmaid in her wedding.

Meanwhile, Chuck still has to show up to work at the Buy More, answering to his boss, Big Mike (Lawrence), and attempting to handle the attitude and posturing of the Nerd Herd's Lester (Sahay), Jeff (Krinsky) and Anna (Ling). Chuck and Sarah also must deal with their feelings for each other, and try not to let a brewing romance get in the way of saving the world. Yet this could be a task that proves too daunting — and dangerous.
